What we store on your device

We use cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in and support the actions you request. We do not use advertising cookies. The traffic reporting described below does not set analytics cookies.

Sign-in cookie

pe_session keeps your account signed in. It is restricted to this site, cannot be read by page JavaScript, and is sent securely over HTTPS. It lasts up to 30 days unless you sign out sooner. Blocking it prevents sign-in and access to your private library.

Remember my email — optional

pe_remembered_email is stored in local storage only when you select “Remember this email on this device”. It pre-fills your email on future sign-in visits. Local storage has no automatic expiry; it remains until removed. Uncheck the option and request a sign-in code, use the clear button below, or clear this site's browser data to remove it.

Magazine creation and checkout

Session storage named pe_magazine_draft, a1-pending-magazine-submission and a1-pending-purchase keeps your catalogue selections and requested next action while you create a magazine, sign in or move towards checkout. It normally ends when the tab or browser session closes; browsers may restore sessions. Draft and submission entries are also cleared when a job is accepted.

pe_auth_creation_draft in local storage transfers catalogue selections when sign-in finishes in another tab. It contains a timestamp; the app only restores drafts less than one hour old and removes the entry on the next creation-page visit. If you do not return, it can remain until you clear site data. These draft entries do not contain your uploaded photograph or payment-card details.

Traffic reporting and your choice

We count successful visits to the homepage, pricing page and contact page on our own server. Reports show page views, referral domains and approximate countries. IP addresses are used temporarily for a local country lookup and, together with browser information, to calculate a keyed identifier that changes daily. We store that identifier, not the raw IP address or full browser information. It is an estimate of visitors, not a way to identify you by name. Referral paths and query strings are not stored. No visitor IP is sent to an external geolocation service.

Traffic records are kept for up to 30 days, with old records removed on the next recorded visit. Known bots are filtered, but counts and locations can be inaccurate. We respect the browser's Do Not Track signal. You can also switch this reporting off for this browser below. Your choice does not affect account access.

Turning reporting off sets a1_analytics_optout, a first-party preference cookie lasting one year, solely to remember your request. Allowing reporting deletes it. Clearing cookies removes the saved choice. This applies to future visits; it does not change earlier aggregate counts.

Stripe checkout

If you choose to pay, you are redirected to Stripe's hosted checkout. Stripe operates that page and may use its own cookies and storage for payment, security and fraud prevention. See Stripe's cookie policy. Stripe checkout cookies were not inventoried as part of this site's first-party storage audit.

Managing browser storage

Your browser settings let you inspect, block or delete this site's cookies and storage. Deleting the sign-in cookie signs you out; deleting drafts removes saved creation selections. For other personal-data processing, see our privacy information. You can contact us with questions.
